SITE • DESIGN • ENGINEERING April 19, 2022 Mr. Bruce Weber, Planning/Zoning Officer Town of Cortlandville 3577 Terrace Road Cortland, NY 13045 Re: Proposed Ray Energy Rail Terminal 3893 US Route 11 Town of Cortlandville Dear Mr. Weber, RECEIVED MAY 0 110 FAYETTE STREET MANTAus, NFw YORK 13104 On behalf of our client, Ray Energy, we are submitting 12 sets revised site plans for the proposed Ray Energy Rail Terminal. The plans have been revised to address comments received from the Planning Board at the meeting on March 29t". Included with the submittal is a completed Long Environmental Assessment Form. In order to facilitate a review of the revisions, the following provides a comment -by -comment response. Additionally, we have provided responses to comments received from the Cortland County Planning Department at the coordinated review meeting held on April 1314 Comments from Nick Renzi 1. Show elevation views of the office building including surface finishes and colors. Building elevations are provided with the plan submittal that provide surface finishes. Colors are provided with the site photographs of the Ray Energy facility in Hampton, NY. The building at the Hampton site is the same building proposed for this project. 2. Show elevation views of the six 60,000 gallon propane tanks. A detail of the propane tanks has been added to the detail sheets, C 3. Show protective bollards for tanks, generator and other vulnerable areas. The site plan, C-3, has been revised to indicate the locations of the guide rails and bollards. 4, How will emergency vehicles gain access to the terminal via the card controlled motorized slide gate? A Knox box will be placed at the gate for fire department access. PH 315-682-5580 • FAY 315-682-5544 • EMAIL:,MNAP@NAPCON. C0NI Ray Energy Rail Terminal 3893 US Route 11 Page 2 5. Will the area be lit up at night on non -business days? Yes, security level -lighting will be on during the night. 6. Provide approval of Cortlandville Fire Department as to the adequacy of the proposed fire hydrants. We met with Kevin Whitney, Chairman of the Cortlandville Board of Fire Commissioners, during the Cortland County Planning coordinated review meeting. We discussed the locations of the hydrants and based on this discussion the hydrant closest to the site has been relocated to the north side of the office building in order to remain accessible during a fire emergency. 7. Show areas where truckers park during fill operation. Diagrams of the trucks have been included on the layout plan. 8. Will truckers use the rest room in the office building and if so where will they park? Yes, the rest room facilities in the building are intended for the truckers use. The trucks will park in the four spaces to the west of the office building, trucks are shown on the layout plan for graphical purposes. 9. Will there be an alarm system in the event of a spill? The facility will have a central alarm system and an after-hours answering service that will have a call tree notification list for all emergencies. 10. Will the concrete slab for the tank cradles incorporate any containment space? No, containment space is not used for propane installations. 11. Will the storage tank areas be lit at night? Yes, the storage tank area will be lit at night. The layout plan has been revised to include light poles/fixtures for the storage tank area and the rail siding area. A lighting plan with photometric isocandle lines is provided (C-10) to show the calculated light levels. 12. Will the 8-foot high chain link perimeter fence be topped off with barbed wire? Yes, the chain link fence will include barbed wire at the top. 13. Consider a gate at the entrance near Route 11 to be opened at the start of business and closed the end of the day to prevent night time parking. The gate at the entrance to Route 11 was discussed at the Cortland County Planning coordination meeting. Mr. Whitney has concerns that it is another gate that the fire department would need to open in the event of an emergency. The site lighting along the driveway is a deterrent; individuals will be visible from the Route 11. Ray Energy Rail Terminal 3893 US Route 11 Page 3 14. Do all employees on the site receive periodic formal training? If so is the training done in accordance with a published training manual with certified trainers? Is the training documented in the employee's personnel file? Yes, all employees are periodically trained. PERC and NPGA have a series of CETP trainings that all terminal personnel will be mandated to take. Employees also receive OSHA and DOT emergency response training within their first 90 days. Other required training includes OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) and training on the loading and unloading of pressure rail cars as recommended by the Association of American Railroads Casualty Prevention Circular (AAR CPC 1245) Pamphlet 34. All training records are stored on site and electronically. 15. Show areas designated for snow storage. The Site Plan, C-3, has been revised to designate snow storage areas (see Key Note 12). 16. The 81-foot long pad to the right of the office building seems to have been mis-marked with item Key 2. The Key Note for the concrete pad has been revised. 17. How frequently are the propane storage tanks inspected for mechanical integrity? Are these inspections reported and filed at the facility? The propane storage tanks are inspected daily, monthly, and annually. All inspection reports are kept on site as well as stored electronically. 18. In the Fire Safety Analysis Form 6.7 titled "Protection against vehicular impact" Items 1 and 2 indicates that the storage container and transfer stations have guard rails and bollards around tanks, piping locations and truck stations. Please show these protection features on the site plan. The site plan, C-3, has been revised to indicate the locations of the guide rails and bollards. 19. The Fire Safety Analysis report contains very useful information that should be reviewed in detail with the responding fire departments in the surrounding towns. All emergency responders will have a walk-through of the terminal. We also have annual table top exercises to review various consequence scenarios. The Fire Safety Analysis report was discussed with the Fire District Chairman, Kevin Whitney. A training with the fire department after construction, when all safety features are in place, has been offered to the department. Mr. Whitney expressed interest in understanding the facility and all of the safety/shutdown instructions and procedures. 20. Are the pressure relief valves on the tanks checked periodically? The pressure relief valves are inspected annually. Ray Energy Rail Terminal 3893 US Route I I Page 4 21. Upon the request of local fire departments that may be called upon to fight fires at the facility the applicant shall provide formal training in the fighting of such fires. All emergency responders will have a walk-through of the terminal. We also have annual table top exercises to review various consequence scenarios. The fire department indicated that they have specific knowledge and training on the properties of LP -Gas and NFPA 471 Hazardous Materials training. In addition, Hiltz Propane Systems has offered to review the system with the fire department upon completion to show all the safety features and shutdowns. 22. Considering the use of pressure relief valves, thermal shutoff valves, emergency shutoff valves and automatic shutoff valves are there industry standards for the certification of valves for propane applications. Pressure relief valves, thermal/automatic shutoff valves and emergency shutdown stations will be installed per NFPA 58, which is the industry standard. The Fire Safety Analysis contains the valves that are required and will be used at the site. All of the NFPA 58 safety requirements will be met and followed. Comments from Julie Melancon. CPESC (NYSDEC) 1. The Applicant should reach out to Kevin Balduzzi in the NYSDEC Division of Permits to coordinate SEAR and determine if a pre -application meeting is needed. The SEAR Long Form is included in this submittal for the Town's use/review/coordination with other involved agencies. All required state and federal permits for this facility will be obtained with application for each occurring at the appropriate time. The Town of Cortlandville, whether it be the Town Board or the Planning Board, is the appropriate Lead Agency in the SEQR process. 2. The project will need coverage under the Construction General Permit (GP-0-20-001). The project team is aware that the project will need coverage under the General Permit. The Notice of Intent for the Coverage under the General Permit will be submitted prior to the start of construction (a minimum of 14 days). 3. It appears a 5 acre waiver will be required for the site. If this is the case, the Applicant must submit the complete SWPPP to my attention for review and approval before 5 acres can be exposed. My contact information is below. A construction phasing plan has been prepared and is included in the submission (C-2.1). Construction will occurring in phases such that the site disturbance at any point is less than five acres. Disturbed areas will be temporarily stabilized either with gravel, asphalt, concrete, or temporary seed and mulch prior to advancing to the subsequent phase. As such, a 5 acre waiver is not required for this site. Ray Energy Rail Terminal 3893 US Route 11 Page 5 4. Post -construction stormwater practices cannot be located in the floodplain, as they must remain functional through the 100-year event. Neither the New York State DEC Stormwater Design Manual nor the NYSDEC SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity (GP-0-20-001) state the storm water management practices cannot be located in the floodplain. In the Frequently Asked Questions About Technical Requirements of the SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activities, Version 2.0, dated October 7, 2004, the DEC states, The Design Manual does not provide provisions for control structures in the floodplain, since construction of any structures within the floodway is generally controlled by the local authorities and FEMA regulations. According to Ten - State Standards treatment facility structures shall be protected from physical damage by the one hundred (100) year flood. Treatment facilities should remain fully operational and accessible during the twenty-five (25) year flood. Outfall pipes in the floodplain may need flap gates to keep floodwaters from backing up into the stormwater basin. The construction of the stormwater practice is within a "cut' area to eliminate structural damage during the 100-year flood. The stormwater practice will be functional and accessible during the 25-year flood and the outfall pipes shall include flap gates in order to keep floodwaters from backing up into the basin. Comment from Jeffrev Deco. Actine Reeional Permit Eneineer INYSDOTI 1. The applicant must coordinate US Route 11 access with NYSDOT via a Perm 33-Com minor commercial driveway application. The applicant will need to verify there is adequate sight distance and provide estimated trip information for the site. The project team is aware that a Perm 33-Com is required in order to construct and operate the driveway access onto US Route 11. The sight distance to the east (right) is 712 feet and to the west (left) is 1,200 feet. Per Exhibit 7-7, Minimum Stopping Sight Distance of the Highway Design Manual, the minimum stopping sight distance on a 45 MPH road is 360 feet. Comments from Kathv McGrath. Water Qualitv Specialist (Cortland Co. Soil & Water Conservation District 1. The entire site is rated Prime Farmland. Acknowledged. 2. Almost the entire site is within the FEMA Zone AE Special Flood Hazard Area. These areas are subject to inundation by the 1% annual chance flood event. Mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements and floodplain management standards apply on these sites. The building has been set at elevation 1101.4, which is 2.4 feet higher than the 100-year flood elevation recorded on the FEMA map for the site. An earthwork analysis on the proposed grading design has been performed in order to ensure that the amount of material brought to the site (fill) is less than the amount of material hauled off the site (cut). Ray Energy Rail Terminal 3893 US Route 11 Page 6 3. It appears that more than one acre will be disturbed. Therefore, NYSDEC and Cortlandville stormwater regulations apply and permits will be required. Post -construction stormwater management facilities to offset new impervious area are indicated on the plan sheets; these facilities must be constructed consistent with NYSDEC and Cortlandville requirements. The stormwater facilities proposed for the site are infiltration basins. Per DEC requirements, infiltration basins must be located in HSG A or 8 soils. Soils mapping for the site indicates that the project site soils belong to HSG A. Pretreatment will be provided via the 25 foot grass filter strip from the edge of pavement to the side slope. Runoff reduction and water quality treatment requirements are achieved through the infiltration of stormwater runoff from the 90'h Percentile Storm (one inch of rain over a 24-hour period). Stormwater quantity, orpeakflow, requirements will also be achieved in the basin. Please note that the size of the stormwater practice is driven by the flood plain mitigation requirements. Additional soil will be excavated from the practice in order to maintain the storage volume of the 100-year flood plain. We appreciate your time and review of this project. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Napierala Consulting Professional Engineer, PC Rodney C.
